Options Spy: Options clues to Microsoft earnings bullish

@OptionsBB
This week, the market will focus on the US Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting, and technology giants and heavyweights such as Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Meta will release quarterly earnings. Last week, gains in blue-chip stocks including Intel, Procter & Gamble, Nike and Chevrolet propelled the Dow to its 10th straight day of gains, the index's longest winning streak in nearly six years and a sign that the rally is spreading beyond a handful of chip makers and technology companies to other parts of the economy such as health care, airlines, energy and banking. As the rotation has accelerated, the worst-performing sectors in the S&P 500 this year, such as utilities, health care, financials and energy, have led the rally so far this month. Healthcare and financial stocks rose 3.04 per cent and 2.74 per cent, respectively, last week, recovering all their losses since the start of the year. Energy and utilities stocks were nearly flat at the start of the year. Analysts have also attributed recent tech volatility to an "extraordinary rebalancing" of the index to address the excessive concentration of a few tech heavyweights. The Fed will deliver its interest rate decision on Thursday, and according to CME Group's FedWatch tool, most traders expect the Fed to raise rates by 25 basis points (bps), which could be the 11th and final rate hike in the current tightening cycle. Microsoft reports earnings after the closing bell on Tuesday. From the perspective of the trading direction of option clues, it is mainly bullish. The market is more optimistic about Microsoft's results. * 9:30 ~ 10:30 every day, real-time sharing of exclusive screening options large order, welcome to click to subscribe.
